YWCA USA Calls for Fair, Comprehensive Immigration Reform for Women and Children
Washington, D.C. ― As one of the nation’s oldest and largest women’s organization, serving more than two million clients including immigrant women, girls and their families in over 1,300 locations across the country, the YWCA commends the United States Senate for initiating the critical process of passing comprehensive immigration reform.
“The YWCA is committed to a U.S. immigration policy that keeps families together and protects immigrant women,” states Dara Richardson-Heron, M.D., CEO of the YWCA USA. Richardson-Heron adds, “With this important first step, we encourage Congress to adopt a commonsense immigration reform policy that advances safety, security and opportunities for immigrant women, girls and their families.”
Desiree Hoffman, Director of Advocacy and Policy at the YWCA USA, states, “With our long history of fighting for racial justice and civil rights, the YWCA is hopeful that Congress will not forget the 11 million individuals living in the shadows, who dream of earning a pathway to citizenship.”
Hoffman adds, “Moreover, as the largest provider of domestic violence services in the U.S., we urge Congress to pass immigration reform that protects immigrant women who are victims of sexual violence and trafficking.”
YWCAs across the country are calling on legislators to pass bi-partisan immigration legislation that is mindful of the unique needs of women and addresses the economic security, health and education of immigrant populations served by our 230 local associations every day.
